Need some assistance

I agree with those who say small, achievable goals. Perhaps walk 10 minutes per day and start a streak. The exercise will help reduce stress and help you cope. Choose another little goal. Add one more serving of fruits or veggies a day. Maybe drink one more glass of water each day.

I used to be a big stress eater and then I found when I ate small healthy meals 6 times per day I could manage my hunger. When I wasn't as hungry, I could cope without turning to food a whole lot better. Truly, try eating enough good healthy food and see if the stress eating is much easier to overcome.

It isn't always easy, but it is worth it. Give it a try. You are worth it!!

Start small in your changes so that you don't burn out before you truly have a chance to begin. Changing our habits is something we are all capable of...but I think often times we don't forgive ourselves as easily as we would forgive a friend.
